Panta Rhei PS4 tech demo burns lots of things

We may not have much of an idea of what Capcom's Deep Down is, but the new Panta Rhei engine that powers it looks pretty hot, if the tech demo is any indication.

Capcom's upcoming PS4 online multiplayer RPG Deep Down will be powered by the Panta Rhei engine. A tech demo offers a taste of what the new engine is capable of--fire! Lots of it!

A tech demo (via VG247) shows off the engine's fire and smoke effects. Most interesting of all, perhaps, is the fluid simulation of a blazing inferno vividly reaching around corners and engulfing anyone unfortunate enough to be standing nearby. Corners are no longer safe!

While we still don't have much of a clue what Deep Down is, it clearly has a lot of fire. So much fire.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what is video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
